Members cct Posted July 7, 2008 Members Share Posted July 7, 2008 Ok, I'll 'fess up. The Baby Switch is definitely one of my favorite AMC storylines. I thought, for once, that all the beats were played. It was all downhill after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members David V Posted July 7, 2008 Members Share Posted July 7, 2008 Well, even Japanese anime tends to take on a soap-like format in terms of continuity and character development. In fact, the 2002 He-Man remake also went along the same line and it was a pity they didn't continue with it, but that's due to the lack of substantial promotion.

Members Sylph Posted July 7, 2008 Members Share Posted July 7, 2008 Japanese anime has some very good soaps. BTW, not anime, but influenced by it - has anyone watched Avatar: The Last Airbender? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members tgilbrea69 Posted July 7, 2008 Members Share Posted July 7, 2008 Call me crazy (and I am sure someone will), but does anybody feel as if ATWT is getting a bit of its mojo back? I really enjoyed this last week. I think the replacement characters (Lily, Mike, etc) are finally starting to feel less strange. Although the Luke and Noah story has some REALLY bad writing around it - the reasons that they are not together leave me confused - it is something new every day and it always seems trivial?!?

Members MarkH Posted July 7, 2008 Members Share Posted July 7, 2008 Okay, you're crazy Nah, probably not, but I'm not loving it yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members tgilbrea69 Posted July 7, 2008 Members Share Posted July 7, 2008 Maybe you could help me out there - What was it that happened between Carly and Jack to finally make Carly change her mind??? She had been obsessed with getting the relationship back for months, and then I tuned in and she was over it - and actually kind of mad with him.

Members EricMontreal22 Posted July 7, 2008 Members Share Posted July 7, 2008 The huge josei (bascially means written and aimed at college aged women) hit, Nana, in late night anime and manga form proves how well Japan has taken to some of the soap opera conventions--down to "who's the daddy" pregnancy scares. (episode one is here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NM-XYU-P5Gk ) Sorry--anime, particularly girls/womens anime and manga which is so obscure in N America but almost 50% of the market in Japan, is another obssession of mine SYlph I also love Avatar ANd am worried about M Night Shamalamamabalamas live action version Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sylph Posted July 8, 2008 Members Share Posted July 8, 2008 It's a good show... I also liked Goku and his dragon balls - I think it's superb soap opera! Look at me - hating Six Feet Under and loving Dragon Ball! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members MoTheGreat Posted July 8, 2008 Members Share Posted July 8, 2008 I couldn't get into Dragon Ball but loved Dragon Balls Z & after. I'm watching Bleach, Naruto, & One Piece.
